Fanatic SUP

About Fanatic SUP

Fanatic is one of the original stand-up paddleboarding brands in Europe, with over 40 years of board-building heritage rooted in windsurfing and water sports engineering. Part of the Boards & More group alongside Duotone and ION, Fanatic SUP delivers the same production quality and shape precision that has made the brand a fixture on the PWA World Tour — applied to inflatable and hardboard SUP designs for every paddler.

Fanatic's iSUP range uses multi-layer drop-stitch construction with reinforced PVC rails, achieving stiffness levels that rival entry-level hardboards. Their composite hardboard SUP range is built using vacuum sandwich technology for competitive weight and durability.

The Fanatic SUP Range

The Ray Air is Fanatic's best-selling touring iSUP — narrow enough for efficient tracking, stable enough for all-day paddling. The Fly Air is the all-round family board, wide and forgiving at 10'4" to 10'8". The Diamond Air is designed specifically for women and lighter paddlers with adjusted volume and deck pad sizing. For racing, the Falcon Air offers a needle nose and narrow outline for competitive speed on flat water.

Fanatic hardboard SUPs include surf-oriented shapes, touring racers, and the Bee — a compact city board designed for transport and storage in small spaces.

Expert Advice

For most adult paddlers (65–90kg), a 10'4" to 10'8" all-round board at 32–34" width offers the best balance of stability and manoeuvrability. Go wider for yoga or fishing; narrower for touring speed.
